Kimball Spinet Issue

[Leslie Bartlett]

If you pull the pins and swab the hole with either super glue or epoxy, it
will add enough "stuff" in the hole to increase torque signficiantly.....

I tuned a Kimball Spinet this morning (s/n A12066).  The overall tuning pin
torque was between 30-50 inch lbs.  That is for a very marginal tuning at
best.  However, the left pin of C-40 and the right/left pin of C#-41 was
less than 30 inch lbs.  I mean literally the pins would take off without
applying but a fraction of pressure on the hammer.  What would be the best
fix for those three pins?  I know, the entire piano could use something, but
with those three pins in particular what would be a good solution?  I was
able to stable the tuning throughout the piano with what I had to work with,
but with those pins it'll be impossible to hold it without some fix.
 
 
Thank you
Matthew
